Have you priced insurance? You're gonna have to deliver alot of pizza! Get a '72, its the best year.

If you are in S.CA then try www.recycler.com i saw couple of 240z latly for under grand.My advice to you if the car is not running walk away,because you will a lot of problem lately.I remeber there was one in Fullerton for $850 it was 73.Also check cars for sale on this site,there is one guy who has 15 z for sale.Good luck! Someone will get hot pitZZa

Do you guys have to pay for your own fuel?
If so, buy a ford festiva.
A Z will certainly eat your fuel up.
And they don't make the most reliable cars, so not great for a "work" car.
Not to say "dont buy one", but in the 2 years I've owned a Z, it's spent probably 6 months sitting on the lawn not moving.

MY 82 ZXT IS GREAT ON GAS 20$ LASTS ALL WEEK BUT IT IS INJECTED NOT carb so that might make a diffrence but older zs might be good for you to learn on and work on good luck!

Re: ur craZZy

I'd like to second that motion! I have a 74 260Z early mod. and the only trouble I have out of it is during the periods in between the times I drive it I have a hard time keeping the battery charged.

Z-forever,

No, logical

Ok, so firstly, stopping/starting (ie dropping off pizzas, picking them up, dropping them off...) hurts fuel economy.
My Z gets around 20 miles per gallon, which is fair for stop-starting driving (backed by previous threads relating to milage).
My girlfriend's Ford Festiva Trio 1997 gets around 60% more per gallon than my 79zx.
Now, all I'm saying is, if you're paying for your own fuel, and you get paid a pathetic wage, you want a car with the best fuel economy you can get.
And you don't want to be broken down at the side of the road with someone's pizza getting cold.

Re: No, logical

no guy wants a puss ride like a festiva wantsaZ wants a Z so he should go get a Z
i have and 83' and a 79' have owned 6 280zx's theres nothing wrong with a z car except the people that work on them.
